`$HOME/.gitconfig` is used to store per user information to give
-fallback values for `.git/config` file.
+fallback values for `.git/config` file. The file `/etc/gitconfig`
+can be used to store system-wide defaults.
They can be used by both the git plumbing
and the porcelains. The variables are divided into sections, where
the working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT.
See gitlink:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
+core.symlinks::
+ If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
+ contain the link text. gitlink:git-update-index[1] and
+ gitlink:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
+ file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support
+ symbolic links. True by default.
+
core.gitProxy::
A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
+ that multiple deltafied objects reference. By storing the
+ entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
+ to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
+ objects multiple times.
++
+Default is 16 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
+for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
+You probably do not need to adjust this value.

+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
alias.*::
Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
`git fetch`) to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
this option, `git pull` defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
+ If you wish to setup `git pull` so that it merges into <name> from
+ another branch in the local repository, you can point
+ branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the special setting
+ `.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
color.branch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
by mail. See gitlink:git-format-patch[1].
+format.suffix::
+ The default for format-patch is to output files with the suffix
+ `.patch`. Use this variable to change that suffix (make sure to
+ include the dot if you want it).
+
gc.packrefs::
`git gc` does not run `git pack-refs` in a bare repository by
default so that older dumb-transport clients can still fetch
Path to a log file where the cvs pserver interface well... logs
various stuff. See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
+gitcvs.dbname::
+ Database used by git-cvsserver to cache revision information
+ derived from the git repository. The exact meaning depends on the
+ used database driver, for SQLite (which is the default driver) this
+ is a filename. Supports variable substitution (see
+ gitlink:git-cvsserver[1] for details). May not contain semicolons (`;`).
+ Default: '%Ggitcvs.%m.sqlite'
+
+gitcvs.dbdriver::
+ Used Perl DBI driver. You can specify any available driver
+ for this here, but it might not work. git-cvsserver is tested
+ with 'DBD::SQLite', reported to work with 'DBD::Pg', and
+ reported *not* to work with 'DBD::mysql'. Experimental feature.
+ May not contain double colons (`:`). Default: 'SQLite'.
+ See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
+
+gitcvs.dbuser, gitcvs.dbpass::
+ Database user and password. Only useful if setting 'gitcvs.dbdriver',
+ since SQLite has no concept of database users and/or passwords.
+ 'gitcvs.dbuser' supports variable substitution (see
+ gitlink:git-cvsserver[1] for details).
+
+All gitcvs variables except for 'gitcvs.allbinary' can also specifed
+as 'gitcvs.<access_method>.<varname>' (where 'access_method' is one
+of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given access
+method.
+
http.sslVerify::
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY' environment
Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly created
merge commit messages. False by default.
+merge.tool::
+ Controls which merge resolution program is used by
+ gitlink:git-mergetool[l]. Valid values are: "kdiff3", "tkdiff",
+ "meld", "xxdiff", "emerge", "vimdiff"
+
merge.verbosity::
Controls the amount of output shown by the recursive merge
strategy. Level 0 outputs nothing except a final error
The default set of "refspec" for gitlink:git-push[1]. See
gitlink:git-push[1].
+remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate::
+ If true, this remote will be skipped by default when updating
+ using the remote subcommand of gitlink:git-remote[1].
+
remote.<name>.receivepack::
The default program to execute on the remote side when pushing. See
option \--exec of gitlink:git-push[1].
The default program to execute on the remote side when fetching. See
option \--exec of gitlink:git-fetch-pack[1].
+remote.<name>.tagopt::
+ Setting this value to --no-tags disables automatic tag following when fetching
+ from remote <name>
+
+remotes.<group>::
+ The list of remotes which are fetched by "git remote update
+ <group>". See gitlink:git-remote[1].
+
repack.usedeltabaseoffset::
Allow gitlink:git-repack[1] to create packs that uses
delta-base offset. Defaults to false.
